Joshua comeback fight set for July in Riyadh

Anthony Joshua will return to boxing on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, facing Kristian Prenga in the first of a two-fight deal with Saudi entertainment chairman Turki Alalshikh. The bout will be Joshua's first since his Round 6 knockout of Jake Paul in Miami in December, and his first following a car crash that month which killed two close friends and team members. A second fight against Tyson Fury is reportedly signed for later in 2026, with both Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn and Alalshikh confirming the deal on social media.
